Apple has announced a recall for “a limited number of older generation” 15-inch MacBook Pro models due to a possible fire risk. Here’s how to determine if your model is affected and how to get it fixed:

Why is Apple issuing the recall?

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission “has received 26 reports of the laptop’s battery overheating, including five reports of minor burns and one report of smoke inhalation, as well as 17 reports of minor damage to nearby personal property.”

Which models are affected?

Only one MacPro model is part of the recall: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015).

When did Apple sell them?

It was sold primarily between September 2015 and February 2017.

How many of them were sold?

About 432,000, according to the CPSC, as well as about 26,000 units in Canada.

How do I know if I have the model that’s part of the recall?

The easiest way to tell whether your model is affected is to look at the function row at the top of the keyboard. This model of MacBook Pro was the last 15-inch Apple notebook that didn’t feature a Touch Bar, so if you have standard keys, you may have a model that’s part of the recall. Then head to the Apple menu in the top left and select About This Mac. If it says “MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015),” then your machine may be part of the recall.
